Julius-Maximilians-Universität WürzburgHistorical splendour and leading research come together in Würzburg. Founded 603 years ago, its university is one of the five oldest higher education institutions in Germany. Würzburg was where the first winner of the Nobel Prize for Physics, Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen, X-rayed the human body for the first time. Other Nobel Prize laureates, such as Johannes Stark and Klaus von Klitzing, also conducted research at the university. The spectrum of subjects available to the 20,000 students is very large: 12 departments offer courses ranging from Roman Catholic theology to medicine. High academic standards continue to be a trademark of Würzburg, which repeatedly tops university league tables – for example, the ranking compiled by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft.
